Dear oh dear. The left-wing Twitter scourge hasn’t gone quite as well as users may have hoped. Following Donald Trump’s victory at the start of the month and the resultant appointment of Twitter CEO Elon Musk as co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, a number of ‘right on’ tweeters decided to jump ship to new social media platform Bluesky. Yet it hasn’t gone quite as smoothly as they’d hoped…
Prominent Twitter commentators including Owen Jones, James O’Brien and Jess Phillips MP have all declared their intention to start using the alternative Bluesky platform in favour of Musk’s machine. It’s not been quite as easy a transition for some as it has for others, however. Less than a day after Jon Sopel announced his departure from Elon’s app, the News Agents host returned to our screens to offer up his thoughts about the farmers’ protest. Talk about a quick turnaround, eh?
